Festivals and events: weekending around the world

Spring is one of the best times to visit the city, according to Annie Bennett,
our Madrid expert.

"Spring in Madrid brings the welcome reappearance of the terrazas, with
waiters all over the city frantically unstacking chairs and tables at the
first sign of warmth, so that the locals can indulge in their favourite
activity of meeting up for a chat over coffee or a beer," she says.
